Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello, I recently picked up an Praktica L2 SLR Camera in very good condition. I noticed though that the inside of the viewfinder was dirty. From some basic research I think the prism is dirty, but I'm not sure. Youtube suggest I should remove the Fresnel lens to access the viewfinder internals, but again, I'm uncertain about this. Any suggestions? I've attached photos. Thanks

There are three places that will cause artifacts looking through the viewfinder ...
Stuff on the prism that is at the exit
Stuff on the prism on the bottom between the ground screen
Desilvering of the prism

The first image is not that clear but I think this is desilvering
